This is our 4th year in a row staying here. We come at the end of summer each year and love the location, the house, and big plus for us is that it’s also pet friendly. The owner is personal and very helpful. Super clean and wonderful having beach chairs, wagon, beach towels, and even wet suits in the garage. Location is less than a 5 min walk to a wonderful beach.

The house is open, bright and sunny, and it was so clean and inviting. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay at the beach was provided, beyond what we could have imagined we even needed. We had the best vacation in years, the house is so close to the beach. We would definitely return to this location, wonderful host, beautiful home.

Such a wonderful house, and the host provided everything! Path to a not-crowded beach less than half a block away, with cart, beach towels, beach umbrella, and even frisbees ready to go. Soap and shampoo, dishwashing and laundry detergent already there. And such a clean, cute property! Quiet and peaceful. Felt like home, and we hope to return!

Our family of 4 and dog stayed for 3 nights and found the place to be fantastic. Clean and welcoming, spacious and peaceful. An idyllic little yard in back and steps from the dog-friendly beach really made the stay homey. Thanks for your excellent hosting.

The house was awesome. Clean, spacious, and well-stocked. The beach was less than a minute's walk. Will definitely rent here again!

The only thing that would have made this a better trip were if it had been warmer outside. We had a nice stay, I would make one recommendation and that would be have some blinds or drapes on the shower windows. Odd there isn’t anything covering the large shower windows.

Even better than the photos. Warm, inviting, comfortable home. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

My daughter and her 4 year-old came from Indiana to visit for a week. The house is charming, immaculate and cozy. It is located literally steps from the nearby beach. My daughter-in-law and her two children could only join us for a day but the kids made the most of being so close to the beaches and near-by Capitola, where the quaint shops and friendly people reminded me of the days I took my children to body surf nearby. We also visited Monterey and Carmel during a couple of the days and left feeling refreshed and with many happy memories. I hope to reserve the house again in the future.

This was our first time renting this property, and we’re so glad that we did! Really darling and very well appointed. Plenty of room for our family of four and our dogs. Amazing location – half a block from Black Beach and walking distance to restaurants that we love. Wonderful property manager! Can’t wait to rent it again.

We absolutely love this beach house! Dog friendly is a big plus for us. Super clean and kitchen has everything you need. We usually buy fresh fish from local fish market and use grill in backyard. Love all the beach supplies in the garage, chairs, wagon and beach towels came in very handy. Walk just five min to a fabulous dog friendly beach! We will definitely be back again.

The property was amazing! Very clean, and it had everything we needed to have a great time both at the beach and hanging around the house. The check in process was convenient, and the communication with Laurie was great. A plus was the kindness of the neighbor who gave my daughter some great ideas for things to do in town with a toddler! The furniture was cute and comfortable, and the showers were great! Loved the outdoor shower when returning from the beach. Already booked our stay for next year!

The house was very clean and the rooms and beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked and room for all 6 of us to enjoy meals and on the patio. Location Location Location, just steps to Twin Lakes at the end of the street and a quaint market just up the street. With the vaulted ceiling in the living-room it gave a much more open feel. We really did enjoy our stay.

Laurie’s beach retreat exceeded our expectations. The listing made it look great but it was even better in person. From the adorable patio with gas grill, to the garage filled with beach towels, sand toys and beach chairs, Laurie thought of everything. We’ve been spending a week in Santa Barbara for the past couple of years but our regular spot was booked. Decided to stay closer to home and chose Santa Cruz. Our kids were bummed, but both said they liked this spot even more. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you, Laurie!

Our family of four plus our dog were in Santa Cruz for our daughter’s graduation at UCSC. We stayed for for 3 nights for the occasion. Location was perfect for everything we needed. We had a very busy schedule but did cook a few meals here and we had everything we needed! Beds were comfortable, home is well stocked and super clean.

The property was very clean and was accurately represented on the website. Two minutes from a terrific beach, and the beach toys, chairs and wagon were a huge selling point for us. We have already recommended this property to family and would definitely stay here again.

This house is an epitome of a beach cottage, yet modernized enough to make your stay incredibly comfortable and lovely. It has lots of natural light, and the decor throughout the house adds to the charm of staying near the beach.
The kitchen was well stocked, there were lot of books to read and enjoy, puzzles to solve. The layout of the house allows everyone enough room which we really liked. Beds were comfortable, towels were fluffy, and shower pressure was great. :)
The location is perfect, it is a quiet residential street ending in a cul-de-sac which is the entrance to the beach. So it literally a minute walk to the beach. Lots of beach gear which kids really appreciated.
All in all, it was a true five-star stay. Would be happy to come back again. Really appreciate the hosts' hospitality and generosity.

This was our first time staying on the East side and this was the perfect spot. Close to downtown, Pleasure Point and an easy drive to other spots of interest. The space was exactly what we needed, a solid primary bedroom with en suite and another bedroom for the kid with its own bath. Ample kitchen and relaxing backyard. We’d love to come back again!

Just got home from this gem of a home one block away from one of the many beautiful beaches in SC! We loved the location which is conveniently located walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The house was the perfect size for our family of four and our dog. The kitchen was a good size and was well stocked with cookware. The enclosed yard space was also useful for our dog. The owner was very easy to work with and provided all the necessary info we needed for a great trip. We’d absolutely would love to stay here again! Thank you!

House was at it was listed. The property manager came in a day before we were to check and left after an apology. The kitchen furniture is out door furniture and doesn't belong / fit in the space. Rest of the house was exactly as listed and we enjoyed our stay. The beach is exactly 1/2 block walk and in a good location to Santa Cruz activitities.
